NANETTE NOTICES

HERE AND THERE. (By “Nanette.”) . Britain’s Peeresses. One dukedom, five earldoms, one viscoiintcy. and fifteen baronies are held by women. Eighteen women are peeresses of the United Kingdom and four hold Scottish titles. A Special Price. There’s an unusually good bargain in useful and attractive ■ frocks at Slater’s, the Square, this week. They’re Canadian and have all the distinction of cut. and design that we are beginning to recognise as belonging to that Dominion. In a variety of sizes and colours with short or long sleeves and novelty trimmings they are specially priced at 425. * New Zealanders in Sydney. There , are many thousands of New Zealanders living in Sydney, and a number of them banded themselves together as soon as war was declared into the New Zealand Auxiliary AVar Unit. It is now doing much good work. Where Experience Counts. Permanent waving is an art for experts. The type of hair has to be studied carefully and a test curl taken before it can be decided just what is needed in waving it. Only fully qualified operators handle permanent waving at Sylvia Kirk’s salon, Broadway, and they use the machineless (not nonelectric) process which gives such lovely, natural-looking results. * Dutch Lace. Although Erance and Italy claim the birthplace of lace, the Dutch were quick to copy the designs and surpass them in quality. They transplanted flax from its native home, Egypt, to their own soil, and so the art of lacemaking gradually crept from one country to another,, and each in turn perfected its own designs. Storage Space. June brides are finding it difficult to know- where to put all the entrancing presents and purchases they are collecting. It’s a lucky bride whose presents include a glory box from Hutchins’ Furniture Warehouse, 493 Alain Street.. These attractively 7 designed boxes, covered to choice, are surprisingly capacious and reasonably priced at sos and 755: * Foundation Garment. AY hen trying to get your foundation garment into position never drag it down in front. It should always be lifted in front and pulled well down at the back, thus ensuring that the stomach muscles and chest are lifted upwards, which is natural, insteed of being pulled down, which is both bad for the figure and the health. By pulling down at the back you will also help to acquire that, uplift movement which is at present fashionable. A Smart. Touch. Chilblains on vour hands are unsightly and make you selLconscious, therefore, avoid them by wearing really warm gloves. They needn’t be those shapeless woollen things you often see but smartly cut gloves'in Astrakhan, suede fabric or wool such as the Scotch AA r ooJ and Hosiery Shop, The Square, are displaying will add distinction to your winter outfit.
